The Lost Daughter Movie Review
After watching, it’s not a shock to me to learn that “The Lost Daughter” is being considered for several Academy Awards. It’s visually alluring and captivating. Olivia Colman holds the audience’s attention almost totally alone, proving that it’s the action that makes a film, not constant dialogue.

Swan Song Movie Review
“Swan Song” is a dynamic roller coaster ride set in a time of robots and technology that do almost everything for us… except falling in love. The timeline is not long from our time now. The film is a romantic drama wrapped in science-fiction to give it more of an edge, which it succeeds in doing.

Being the Ricardos Movie Review
“Being the Ricardos” is very aptly named because what director Aaron Sorkin’s latest movie does is take you through a somewhat scandalous week in the lives of this beloved couple, one you wouldn’t have expected to see. It’s not just about Lucy.

Wolf Movie Review
December 2, 2021
(updated December 2, 2021)
Published by JMcNaughton
Limited theatrical run starting December 3, 2021
Available on Amazon Prime beginning December 10, 2021
“Wolf” is a movie that thinks it will run with the Pack. It aspires to be King of the Jungle (or Forest). But it turns out to be more of an Odd Duck. The ideas are played out in a super serious manner. There is an undercurrent of metaphor that is way too obvious. When a person wants to identify as something else, that is out of the ‘norm’. So, there is a place that ‘teaches’ a person (who identifies as an animal) to return to the normal social standard.
